The 15th Great Moonbuggy Race was held in Huntsville, Alabama on 4 to 5 April 2008. High school and university students were challenged to develop human-powered rovers that race around a simulated lunar course.
The two winning teams were:
- Erie High School Team II, Erie, Kansas - Erie High School Prototyping and Problem Solving Class [cusd101.org]
- University of Evansville, Evansville, Indiana - UE Moonbuggy Team [evansville.edu]
